I'm through the midboss battle in the level The Gates of Athens in the PlayStation 2 game God of War. A couple of things are readily apparent. First off, the game looks gorgeous. It's about as good looking as a PS2 game is going to get in-game. Secondly, the game is going to be a blast. The controls are good, if not exactly intuitive. It's not that they're off or a pain in the ass to deal with, it's that there are a large number of commands. It results in a steep learning curve. Another thing is that the game is following the current trend of highly cinematic gameplay. Just like Resident Evil 4, GoW uses Shenmue's QTE's to be as stylish and cinematic as possible. The only real question at this point, is can they maintain the greatness of the first level all the way throughout the whole game? Let's find out...
Next time will cover the combat of God of War.
